Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Craftsbury Common vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
